We had the best time ever! I organised a group vacation to celebrate my birthday. All my friends were shocked by the beauty of the place – the photos don't even do the house and garden justice. This place is managed with loads of love. The kitchen is so well equipped, you'll find everything here, and the library upstairs is amazing. Our highlight was the pool, as it was the perfect size for 12 people and the perfect temperature and even on the last day, we couldn't get over that stunning view. Also, communication was easy, we always had someone to reach out to and they helped us directly with all our concerns and questions.

An exceptional house and infinity pool in the hills close to Montone. The children spent many hours in the pool and we all had a barbecue supper on the patio in the evening. The accommodation was wonderful and the kitchen allowed us all to help with cooking. Our master bedroom was very comfortable and had netting on the windows to stop the insects. Amazing property.

Very stylish well thought through villa, most of it nicely renewed. Great furnishings. Tous conforts. All along the front three sides are delightful terraces and quiet spots. And then there is the pool! Montone nearby, is an Italian classic of a mountain top town. Heaven. Nice if it were a few kilometres closer.

We couldn’t have asked for anything more from Casa Celestiale. The house is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, with everything you could possibly need. We loved the gardens, particularly picking the fresh tomatoes & figs. What made Casa Celestiale so special for us was the perfect location & incredible views, it was so peaceful in the hills just outside of Montone. The pool was incredible, and we spent so many hours just soaking it in! Tara & Matteo were both extremely helpful and very kind. We have such special memories of our time here, and would love to be back in the future!

exceptionnal location, very comfortable house

The property is simply stunning. An incredible place to combine unwinding and getting away from things with visits to lovely small Italian towns (we had lots of coffee/lunch in Montone and a few trips to Città di Castello). We visited Casa Celestiale with three family generations. We just loved sitting on the terrace or by (or lounging in) the pool and enjoying the beautiful setting -- the view by day, the stars by night. The house itself is so well designed -- an old property that has been renovated to an extremely high standard. So much attention to detail throughout and very comfortable for our two families, with three bedrooms with double beds and three bedrooms with two single beds, as well as two large living spaces, a large kitchen -- plently of room for everyone to spread around, in other words. The garden is lovely -- kids played badmington and explored and helped us pick plums, that we then turned into plum compote. We ate outside on the terraces every day, which are again so well thought out -- for example, there is one with part shade, one with full shade. Other useful features: two dishwashers, screens on every window, a range of outside games to use for the kids, an ample DVD collection, fans for every room. We had such a lovely time. I could have stayed all summer.

Casa Celestiale was amazing for our holiday and first time in Italy with friends and family! The home had everything you could ask for and more. The views from every angle and window were spectacular! The house stayed cool during the evenings and the pool was a delightful retreat during the days. The saltwater pool with the infinity edge made you feel like you never wanted to leave. Swinging in the hammocks that overlooked the olive trees with the cool breeze was so relaxing and peaceful. The bedrooms and bathrooms were exquisite and comfortable. The kitchen was quite big and it was most spectacular having Chef Masha Rener cook two wonderful meals for us and teach us how to make pasta! Showing her passion for cooking and hearing her stories was an amazing experience! The lavender bundles that she taught us how to make and have traveled home with us, keep a little touch of Italy close. There were plenty of spaces in and around the house and pool for everyone to find their retreat when needed. Morning espresso and meals on the patio overlooking the landscape were a daily ritual. We enjoyed sips of Amaretto on the side patio while having the spectacular view of the evening stars. The cherry trees on the property were so delicious that my daughter made jam and we are enjoying still! The walk to the castle was enjoyable with magnificent views over the valley and of the castle itself! The location of Casa Celestiale was close enough to town and shopping. We were able to explore the neighboring towns, each with its own unique characteristics and people. Tara our host was easy to communicate with during the entire booking process, helpful with the local grocery locations, and we loved her recommendation of Chef Masha. Matteo was always available and helpful with any questions we had. For our first time in Italy we had the most wonderful place to call home for our stay! Thank you Tara for sharing your family’s beautiful home with us!

We had an absolutely lovely family holiday here. The pool area was a hoot - the pool itself was brilliant, the pool house superb, all geared up for lots of fun! And the gsrden, countryside and nature was quite exceptional; well away from industrial farming, the variety of birds, lizards, butterflies and so on was wonderful, and there were some lovely walks. We loved it. As the description warns it is a good way from towns, so possibly not the place if you want to hit the town every night, and the WiFi is functional - but not if you want to stream video, apparently though we didn't and had no problems therefore. The villa was big, great facilities, beautiful, the rooms and outside areas lovely and varied. It's a really exceptional place, the whole family from 24 to 58 loved it.
